Kanada Kev Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'd do it, but not at that price for The Hip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishtaper Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) I'd do it, but not at that price for The Hip wow. same. those are shameful prices for those sorts of really bad seats. the band cannot be pleased about that blatant gouge.

Marcust99 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 And the floor seats are only available by auction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishtaper Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 And the floor seats are only available by auction?yes. which is why I suspect there may be some sort of charity involved. surely the band is not looking to gouge fans, but I guess I wouldn't be surprised if the ticats or the city were looking to do just that. the whole thing just looks fishy.

HaMike Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) It would seem that you get 1 Ticat ticket with the purchase of the Hip ticket. You are really buying two tickets to 2 events at that price.The Hip fanclub is giving $30 off the Ticats price. Maybe that is for the show only?I think the Canada Day weekend Hip shows were about the same price but there were opening bands.

Freak By Night Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 There is "some sort of charity" involved: The Hamilton Tiger Cats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishtaper Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) There is "some sort of charity" involved: The Hamilton Tiger Catswell, they will be homeless next year ... actually, correction, they will be on the road for the whole season, with each other CFL city hosting them twice (one as the "home" team) as well as moncton hosting them twice as the home team. i was just chatting with a colleague who is connected to the ticats and he indicated this hip concert was totally unexpected and seems to have come out of nowhere. he's not even sure how it came to be.

phishtaper Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 did anyone try the presale today? i got an email from the hip fanclub that contained a link and a password. got in alrite, but then it required that i enter my ticats account info. huh? ticats account? not my hip fanclub account info? jeesh. wizards.

phishtaper Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 ok, so this now has to rank as the single most fucked up concert sale ever. was this a summer project for a high school student who's now gone back to class and cannot fix the mess? half the links in the Hip email don't work. you have to buy a football ticket in order to buy a concert ticket. you have to register on the ticats site to buy anything. now the "auction only" floors are $500/pr, but there is no way to actually buy them. jeesh.

edger Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Dang, if this wasn't so pricey and complicated it could have been a REALLY cool and nostalgic night. I haven't seen the Hip in a great many years, but they were certainly a formative part of my debut into the live music scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
